In the Canary Islands there are no Canaries.
In the Virgin Islands there are no Canaries either.
Do any of you know any other bits of useful information such as this?

Re: Some facts please
good morning john #1
not only are you correct in your observations but years before i ended up in spain i used to spend quite a lot of time in canaries, had some good mates all locals, and each and everyone all said the if admiral nelson had after he had thrashed the spanish at TRAFALGAR and then sailed down to the canaries they would have been a british protective country today,
to a man they all disliked being run by spain and would have prefered to be with us .

Re: Some facts please
In the Solomon Islands ,he never went near them was a native of Judeau.
In New Guniea there were no gold ones.
In Bombay there were no bombs only bums.
In Greece they use cooking or olive oil .
In Jersey they only wear sweaters when it gets chilly.
In Malta they don’t sell Maltesers as sweets only as humans .
In the Sandwich Islands is very hard to find one.
